If there’s one thing that I like doing, it’s discovering new authors. Susan Buchanan is certainly a new author for me. When I was invited to take part in the blog tour for ‘Just One Day- Spring’, I hadn’t realised that it is actually the second instalment of the ‘Just One Day’ series. The first book called ‘Just One Day- Winter’ was released in November 2021. I read the synopsis for ‘Just One Day- Spring’ and it certainly sounded like my cup of tea- a light hearted, fun and ultimately feel good story. I thoroughly enjoyed reading ‘Just One Day- Spring’ but more about that in a bit.
It took me no time at all to get into ‘Just One Day-Spring’. In fact I was drawn into the story from the very first word on the very first page. The book seemed to develop a hold over me and it was a hold that I wasn’t willing to break. I had initially picked the book up only intending to read a couple of chapters to say that I had made a start but I ended up becoming that wrapped up in the story and in the lives of the characters, that I was still sat there reading over half a dozen chapters and an hour later. I found it almost impossible to put the book down. The more of the story I read, the more I wanted to read and the quicker the pages seemed to turn. At one point the pages were turning that quickly that it was almost as if they were turning themselves. All too quickly I reached the end of ‘Just One Day- Spring’ and I had to say goodbye to the characters. I found ‘Just One Day-Spring’ to be a lovely read, which held my attention throughout and kept me guessing.
‘Just One Day- Spring’ is extremely well written. Susan has one of those easy going writing styles that is easy to get used to and easy to get along with. In fact reading ‘Just One Day-Spring’ felt more like a chat between friends rather than reading a book. I hope that makes sense. Susan clearly cares about her characters and this shines through in the very vivid and realistic way in which she describes them. She makes her characters seem just as real as you and I. I also found that I ended up feeling every emotion that the characters were feeling – I would go from smiling one minute at a part of the story to welling up at another point. Susan tackles some difficult subjects but she tackles them with great sensitivity and compassion. There were several twists and turns to the story. I love the way in which Susan makes the reader feel as though they are part of the story and at the heart of the action. That’s how I felt at any rate.
In short, I thoroughly enjoyed reading ‘Just One Day- Spring’ and I would definitely recommend this book to other readers. I will certainly be reading more of Susan’s work in the future. The score on the Ginger Book Geek board is a very well deserved 5* out of 5*.

Louisa is married to Ronnie and they have three children – Genevieve (12) and her younger siblings Aria and Hugo. At the start of the book, a new beagle puppy has just arrived for Gen. At the same time, Louisa’s brother-in-law Travis has hired a man called Caden as his sous chef. Caden and Louisa have previously shared a romantic kiss a few weeks earlier and they are shocked to see each other again.I could really relate to Louisa and how she was juggling so many things and not getting enough time for herself. I loved how realistic all the children are and I was pleased to read about Gen’s gymnastics, as that’s a big interest of mine too!I enjoyed the humour in the book and the lovely relationship between Louisa and her sisters Wendy and Joanna. Animals are always a delight in books and the puppy is adorable, as well as their older dog Bear.It’s an easy book to get into and an enjoyable read. You are interested in Louisa’s home situation straight away from the first chapter and want to know more. I enjoyed her dilemmas and wondering how everything was going to be solved. I hadn’t read the previous book in the series, but it really didn’t matter as I could follow everything without any problems.
